You need not leave the comfort of your library fireside — you will not have to catch steamers or trains—you will not have 
to endure polar cold or tropical heat. You will have none of the inconveniences of travel, and yet all of its pleasures and ad¬ 
vantages. You will become familiar with the world by close contact—you will be at home everywhere, and have at least a bowing 
acquaintance with people in every city of the world. 
Here in detail are a few of the charming glimpses of the world which you shall have in February: 
FROM RANGOON TO MANDALAY. By S. R. VINTON 
This article is mitten by a man, an American, who spent his early life amid the 
scenes he describes. It is a narrative of one who is not only thoroughly familial* with 
Burma, but who has the power of recording his knowledge with facility, directness 
and strong interest. The manners and customs of this remarkable part of the world as 
well as the physical qualities of the country, are set down with the greatest fascination. 
HELIGOLAND. By DR. PERRY WORDEN 
Tells some intimate details regarding this island in the Baltic Sea, which belongs 
to Great Britain and of which possession was obtained by the Germans. The recent 
edict to the effect that in the future tourists would not be allowed further inland than 
the seashore, has turned the eyes of the world toward this place and makes this 
article of timely note. 
OVER THE ANDES IN A HANDCAR 
Here is a story teeming with active interest, as well as bringing before the reader 
the wonders of some of the greatest mountains of the world and their conquest by man. 
The novelty of this article, aside from its adventurous and descriptive features, will make 
it a very striking part of the magazine, especially on account of its unusual photographs. 
THE LATTER DAYS OF POMPEII 
A subject of this sort naturally depends on the insight of the author into the intimate 
side of the places, which is another way of saying that it depends on his knowledge 
of the people and the history. Mr. Henry .lames Forman is the author of a number 
of books on travel and he shows in this article the same keen sympathy with the subject 
as in his larger books. He makes Pompeii live again in this stirring narrative. 
CHEESE DAY AT ALKMAAR. By BLAIR JAEKEL 
Tells of the humorous possibilities in the quaint little Dutch town of Alkmaar and 
its cheese industry. Like all the rest of the articles in the February number of TRAVEL, 
this is very adequately illustrated with photographs made by the author. 
BUDAPEST ON THE “BLUE DANUBE.” By SCHUYLER M. MEYER 
Here is a splendid article on a beautiful city—Budapest. Comparatively few people 
have such an idea as to the beauty of this city of Austria-Hungary or of its interesting 
people. Its picturesque position on the Danube and its more scenic and architectural 
beauties, as well as its population, are shown in an entirely satisfying and entertaining 
manner. 
TIPPING AS A FINE ART 
Everybody, whether he travels or not, who has been a victim of the tipping system, 
will find this humorous, yet informative, story of the “Open Hand Society" to his 
liking. The author. Frank X. Finnegan, writes from a full heart—he has liad to dis¬ 
tribute largesse to waiters and other servants all over Europe, and what he has to 
say on the subject will sound a chord of sympathy in every reader. And, incidentally, 
it will get a laugh. 
ARIZONA AND NEW MEXICO 
The communities of the Pueblo Indians, those compact little towns of stone and 
adobe. Oriental in aspect and each with a local government of its own, are not only 
graphically described by Charles Francis Saunders, but the life and manners of these 
interesting people are depicted with incisive detail and interest. TRAVEL has 
never had a more interesting American article than this, and the fourteen photographic 
illustrations which accompany it leave nothing to be desired by the reader except the 
actual journey there.
